Like the environment and people of the West Coast, football has endured - and become the stuff of legends.
Gravel & Mud is an anthology of football in the mountains of Western Tasmania, providing details of histories and characters, of successes and heartbreak.
With a foreword by Chris Fagan and Introduction from Martin Flanagan it won't take long to realise that whilst the West Coast of Tasmania may be remote, the strength of its football communities have impacted people from across the country, many of whom you may be surprised to learn have a connection to playing on the gravel and mud.
Compiled and edited by John Carswell, Tony Newport and Chris Carswell - released April 2021.
